It all depends on context, imo. People should generally leave other people’s private property alone. But if it’s an ugly cinderblock wall downtown, some kind of drab piece of infrastructure, and the graffiti artist is actually making an effort to make it look good - it can be public art

If you’re going to break it down that far, why stop? Your “self” is not your central nervous system, but a portion of it - and not a very large one. It’s your consciousness. Most of what your nervous system does is not conscious.

Your self (and mine) are but a small portion of a single organ in a large network of organs and tissues and cells and bacteria. We developed because it was advantageous for our bodies - which predate our consciousness - to have pilots. We are periphery. We are a single part of an ecosystem. And definitely not the center of it

Oh hey, the star’s name really is a reference to Tolkien’s Earendil!

And for you, Frodo Baggins, I give you the light of Earendel, our most distant star. May it be a light to you in dark places when all other lights go out.

Seriously what are the stories on those? Surely they were submitted by children or something?

Are these femboy cardiobunnies at gyms even in the midwest? Asking for anon

You would think that wouldn’t you, Margot Robbie?

There wasn’t enough time spent on character backstory! Use your glowing rectangle.

I agree that backstory is non-essential, but are critics criticizing the lack of backstory or the lack of fully fleshed out characters? Because imo one of the reasons the first Suicide Squad was bad was because it didn’t have adequately fleshed out characters. Any movie that relies on outside material to fill in essential blanks is not doing one of the major things a movie is supposed to do: tell a full story with its characters. Or at least it’s not doing it well

Definitely never realized those were rated badly, huh

I feel like it has to be due to people not liking the religion twist and Mila Kunis, right? I feel like it was easily 60% or up

Idk if I’d go that far by Crystal Skull was definitely the answer I was thinking of. Had a few parts that really strained the audience, sure, but overall a descent film imo

I don’t have an answer to your actual question other than self-hosting. But, I doubt you’d ever get a “firehose of trash” on your main feed. Mainly because the trashy instances aren’t that populous, so I doubt their posts would be active or hot enough to float to the top. But I could be wrong.

You could always go directly to the instance you want to read and lurk. Unless you make an account you won’t be able to comment, but you’ll be able to get your firehose of trash

Edit: Just be mindful of how much you consume, you’d be surprised how easily hate can invade your mind. To this day I still have to self-censor every now and then thanks to the hateful rhetoric I grew up around, even though I’m long past it

It’s pretty awesome! I’m only like a third through it but it’s so relatable already

But everyone was so much thinner back then. The average person was so much hotter.

Because they inherited an economy with actual food and replaced it with “food” filled with industrial inventions like corn syrup

I live because the mountains do not laugh and the worms do not sing.

Give them a break, they had no other accepted way to explore their sexuality

/s but also not /s

I would imagine it working just like on reddit and lemmy, where it can originally be claimed by the original poster or anyone who wants it. It’s obviously not an ideal solution, but it’s worked well enough historically. Maybe someone else would have a better idea

Some communities aren’t updating on lemmy.world

Specifically, I moderate /c/worldbuilding@lemmy.ml and I noticed that lemmy.world’s side is not updating. No new posts from lemmy.ml’s side, and their side shows 300+ subscribers while mine shows ~80

For future reference, if you find a community that looks dead and you want to take over, you can message the admins of that instance and they’ll look into giving you the community :)
